Chapter 107: Four Birds with One Stone
"Yes!" Huang Dechang didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately went out to do errands.
The sixth prince looked solemn.
Only when Du Tianqing is dead, Du Tianqing is the biggest punishment.
The secrets that Du Tianqing knew would also be forever silent with his death.
And the imperial brother had a conflict with Du Tianqing today, if Du Tianqing had three longs and two shorts, they would definitely frame the imperial brother.
The sixth prince is a princeling, and if the royal brother is unlucky, he is unlucky.
If things really happen to this point, it will be more than three birds with one stone, it will be four birds with one stone!
That night, Pei Xuanling had dinner at the Sixth Prince's Mansion, and the two continued to discuss things, waiting for the results of finding Du Tianqing.
However, two hours passed, and no news of Du Tianqing was found.
Things seem to be getting closer and closer to what the two of them think: I'm afraid that Du Tianqing has already encountered an accident!
Du Tianqing was never found, Pei Xuanling stayed until the second half of the night, then left the Sixth Prince's Mansion and returned to the East Palace to rest.
In the early morning of the next day, Pei Xuanling got up before dawn.
Huang Dechang stepped forward to wait for him to change clothes and wash.
"Did Du Tianqing find it?" Huang Dechang didn't take the initiative to report, Pei Xuanling probably had a number in his heart, but he still asked.
Huang Dechang paused for the prince's hem arrangement, "I haven't found it yet." ”
Pei Xuanling's expression was grim, and after a hasty breakfast, he went to the Ministry of Rites.
As soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, as soon as the carriage stopped at the Ministry of Rites, Pei Xuanling, who was sitting in the car, heard the mess of the Ministry of Rites, and seemed to faintly hear the sound of someone crying.
After getting out of the carriage, Pei Xuanling followed the cry.
The ministers who worked hard in the past are not at their posts.
When it was time to go to the office, there was not even a figure.
It wasn't until I heard the sound that I came to the backyard of the Ministry of Rites, and I saw that the ministers were all gathered by the artificial lake next to the rockery.
The ministers didn't know what they were talking about, it was a mess.
At the same time, there were people crying.
"Woo woo woo ......"
"Lao Du, Lao Du, you died so miserably......"
"His Royal Highness the Prince." When they saw that the prince was coming, everyone saluted.
"Your Highness, you're here." Fan Songkang came to the prince, "Lord Du is dead, this morning, everyone found him lying in the lake, and when he was salvaged, he was soaked white and out of breath. ”
Pei Xuanling looked not far away, only to see Du Tianqing lying motionless on the ground.
Several ministers who were good with Du Tianqing sat on the ground, wiping their tears, whimpering, and crying......
It seems that he and the sixth brother guessed correctly, King Mu and his party not only wanted to severely punish Du Tianqing and kill Du Tianqing, but also took revenge on the sixth brother, and also wanted to harm him, the prince!
Fortunately, he didn't severely punish Du Tianqing yesterday, or beat Du Tianqing.
Otherwise, if Du Tianqing dies after being beaten to the board, then he can't explain his reason.
"What's so noisy?" Before Pei Xuanling could ask in detail, Song Fu also came here, and when he saw someone crying, Song Fu reprimanded, "You are actually crying and crying in the Ministry of Rites, what a ...... it is?"
Before he finished speaking, when he saw Du Tianqing lying on the ground, Song Fu swallowed his words.
As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he immediately understood the specific situation.
Knowing that Du Tianqing died in the lake next to the rockery last night, Song Fu was shocked.
After closing his eyes and settling his mind, he opened his eyes again, and then turned his head to the prince and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you asked people to move this rockery that day, and I reminded you at that time that this rockery is the feng shui of the Ministry of Rites, and you can't move it, but you don't listen......
"Well, now, since you let people move this rockery, the Ministry of Rites has been at peace every day, and now Lord Du is still buried here, this is a punishment from heaven on our Ministry of Rites......"
As he spoke, Song Fu knelt down in the direction of the rockery and bowed repeatedly.
After the rest of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites saw this, they also followed Song Fu to kneel and bow, only Fan Songkang and Pei Xuanling stood in place.
Fan Songkang: "Lord Song's words are wrong, His Royal Highness asked people to move this rockery that day, in order to find the lost tribute, and it turns out that someone did hide the tribute jade in the rockery." ”
"In addition, Du Tianqing's mysterious death today, this matter has yet to be verified, but no matter what, what does this have to do with the rockery at every turn?"
"Lord Fan is really ignorant...... Song Fu took the minister's hand and got up, "There are some things that I would rather believe in than believe in nothing, everything has a cause and effect." ”
"According to Lord Song's meaning, it was Lone who planted these evil fruits?"
"......" Song Fu was silent for a few breaths before he said: "I don't mean that, I just think... It was His Royal Highness who made people move the rockery and broke the feng shui of the Ministry of Rites. ”
Just when Pei Xuanling and Song Fu were arguing, Zhu Ji, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also came.
Zhu Ji came to the backyard with a puzzled face, and when he saw Du Tianqing lying on the ground, he looked frightened, and staggered a few steps.
If it weren't for the minister on the side who supported him, I was afraid that he would not be able to stand steadily.
After he stood firm, he first saluted the prince and Song Fu, and then asked about the situation carefully.
Knowing that Du Tianqing was dead, Zhu Ji wailed sadly: "God, what happened to our Ministry of Rites recently, how happened one after another. ”
Then, he said bitterly: "First Liang Chunrong was exiled for 3,000 miles, and then Du Tianqing died mysteriously, why is this......"
After listening to Zhu Ji's words, everyone couldn't help but think that the prince had only recently entered the Ministry of Rites.
As Master Zhu said, as soon as the prince entered the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites had a series of major incidents.
And Liang Chunrong and Du Tianqing are both people who have had a holiday with the prince.
Two of them, one was exiled, and the other died a strange death......
As a result, many ministers looked at the prince differently.
Regarding Zhu Ji and Song Fu's superstitious statements, Pei Xuanling no longer cares.
He just said to everyone: "The world is impermanent, and the mysterious death of Lord Du will send someone to find out the cause of his death." ”
Then, he instructed Fan Songkang, "Lord Fan, you go and call the people from Dali Temple to come and ask them to come over to investigate the case and examine the body." ”
Immediately afterwards, he also instructed everyone not to touch the things at the scene, and to wait for the people of Dali Temple to check the evidence.
"Lord Song, the lower officials think that this matter should not be handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to deal with!" A minister objected.
Pei Xuanling thought that it was the minister who got along well with Du Tianqing who was talking, but he never thought that it was Xue Mao, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who proposed it.
This person does his own thing in the Ministry of Rites, never forms gangs, neither attaches to Song Fu, nor Zhu Ji, nor does he depend on him, the prince.
And, I heard that this person is upright.
As long as it is something he thinks is right, no matter who the other party is, he can speak out!
Probably he will not behave in the world, obviously he was the champion of the scientific examination back then, and after many years in the Ministry of Rites, he is still only a six-grade master.
At this moment, the crying people didn't say anything, but Xue Mao stood up and raised objections, which was really surprising, but reasonable.
Song Fu looked at Xue Mao, "What did Lord Xue say about this?" ”
"Lord Du only spoke out yesterday to contradict His Royal Highness the Prince, and died mysteriously last night, the lower officials think that this matter is a little strange, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not interfere."
